BRIGHTON resident Alan Rosenberg laments the impending reopening of the railway gates at the New Street level crossing. The existing handoperated crossing gates, which have been closed since a train crashed into them 2007, are to be replaced by new automatic boom gates. Work is due to start early next year but Bayside council has pledged to try to preserve the heritage of the 120 year old site. ■ REPORT P4

amily violence continues to remain a Victoria Police priority.

We monitor all police attendances at family violence incidents to ensure appropriate action is taken and criminal charges are laid where appropriate.

Any increase in family violence is a concern, but in some respects the increase in these figures supports my belief that police are taking appropriate action when attending these incidents.

I would also like to think that the increase in family violence figures reflects increasing community confidence that police are committed to acting on reports of family violence.

Our ongoing efforts in relation to robberies, which have decreased by 25 per cent, and efforts in and around our railway stations and transport hubs have been particularly successful, but the increase in burglaries and thefts of and from motor cars is cause for concern.

We have recently commenced an operation to concentrate on these offences so I expect to see an improvement in these figures in coming months.

As with everything, we need assistance from the community in this regard, so I urge everyone to ensure that cars are left locked and secured and that valuables are not left inside vehicles in full view of passers-by. Any suspicious activity should be reported to the police.

I grew up in Chelsea, so have always loved living near the beach.

I have been stationed at Glen Eira Bayside for two years as the local area commander but was stationed at Brighton as a constable in 1984,

so in many ways I have come back to where I started my career.

Having spent the past 10 years at the crime department in Melbourne, the rotation policy gave me the opportunity to return to uniform as the local area commander at Glen Eira Bayside.

I am responsible for the Glen Eira Police Service Area (PSA), which contains two 24-hour police stations, the Bayside police station located in Sandringham and the Caulfield police station.

While I enjoy my job, I would like to spend more time out of the office and away from the computer. I

particularly like dealing with members of the community and front-line police.

While I have spent plenty of time in uniform, most of my career has been spent in the area of criminal investigation – I started training in the police academy in September 1982, so am just about to pass the 30-year milestone.

The decision to join Victoria Police has been one of the best decisions I have ever made. I have been given the opportunity to work in a number of different areas and have travelled to many parts of the world.

WHAT I LOVE ABOUT BAYSIDE: It is very well laid out, close to the beach and easily accessible to the city. We also have wellregarded schools and sporting facilities so it is great for families.

WHAT I’D CHANGE: We are continuing to work hard to drive down crime, traffic and public order offences. While we have had success in relation to assaults and public order offences, there’s still plenty to do.

Warning on securing hoops as tributes flow for Jesse

BY LAURA BANKS l.banks@fairfaxmedia.com.au

JESSE Chaplin-Burch was a “lovable larrikin”, “full of life and energy.”

The 20-year-old Brighton East man died last week when a slamdunk into a backyard basketball hoop went wrong.

Jesse was playing basketball with

his 12-year-old neighbour. When he attempted a slam-dunk a brick wall that the basketball ring was attached to at the neighbour’s house collapsed on him, killing him instantly.

Jesse played ice hockey with the Oakleigh Saint Monarchs. Club president and captain Chris Kondos, a friend of Jesse’s for more than seven years, said his death had left a

hole in the ice-hockey community.

“He was an ultra friendly person, he never had anything bad to say about anyone,” Mr Kondos said. “...a new face would walk into the room and he wanted to talk to them.”

A minute silence and pre-game tribute was held for the former Wesley student at the club’s semi-final match on Friday night.

“He was really growing into a young man, he was really starting to shine,’’ Mr Kondos said.

Bayside Acting Senior Sergeant Mick White urged parents to ensure their basketball rings were secure.

“Take them off (brick walls) and put them on a secure pole – somewhere where it can’t happen. As strong as a brick wall looks, they’re not.”

CBA out of touch: survey

New garden puts up a brave fight bridget.fitzgerald@fairfaxmedia.com.au

BAYSIDE council has spent $64,000 on a bravery memorial garden that has been dismissed as a waste of ratepayers’ money by members of the Australian Bravery Association.

The garden, unveiled by the council on Monday, is in the Triangle Gardens on the corner of Beach Road and Linacre Road in Hampton.

Bayside councillor and Australian Bravery Association member James Long welcomed the memorial, saying it recognised people who had risked their lives in acts of bravery.

But his praise was challenged by a member of the association’s national executive, David Hewett-Lacon, who said the association had no links with the memorial garden.

Mr Hewett-Lacon, of Canberra, said Mr Long had never mentioned the project to association members and he saw the garden as an unnecessary cost for Bayside council.

“It seems to be an awful lot of money for something that seems to be out of self interest,” he said.

Mr Long, who was awarded a bravery medal in 2000 after throwing himself on to a moving car to apprehend a bagsnatcher, denied any self interest in the garden .

He said he had declared his interest to the council and excused himself from discussing the gardens at council meetings.

“It’s about people, and about a place where a visitor to Bayside can reflect,” he said.

The gardens upgrade, featuring a new path, a wheelchair-access drinking fountain and a 1000-plant garden, is an extension to an existing monument erected in 1924.

Mayor Louise Cooper-Shaw said the site was a place to remember people who braved “perilous circumstances” to save a person or property.

Bayside Ratepayers Association president George Reynolds said he did not understand why the council had prioritised the development of a bravery memorial.

Mr Reynolds said the gardens represented only a select group in the community.

THE Commonwealth Bank does not understand people suffering financial hardship, an industry survey has found.

The Financial and Consumer Rights Council asked 100 Victorian financial counsellors to rate Australia’s ‘‘big four’’ banks on how they dealt with people in financial hardship.

Participants ranked the ANZ, Commonwealth, NAB and Westpac in terms of customer communication on financial hardship matters, customer satisfaction and processes and attitudes.

In the council’s Rank the Bank report, policies on hardship were given a score out of 10. CBA scored the lowest at 4.27 and NAB the highest with 6.39. The data was collected in late 2011 and the report was released on September 6.

The council plans to meet with the four banks to discuss the survey results and find ways to make improvements.

Gates come down on New Street

BRIEFS ■ KIDS GET GRANTS Beaumaris North Primary School students and Hampton Junior Soccer Club have each received $1200 worth of grants from Telstra’s Kids Fund program. The grants will enable the school to develop a music garden while the soccer club will buy new portable goals, training jumpers and balls.

BAYSIDE council will attempt to preserve the heritage value of the New Street crossing, despite state government plans to install boom gates at the site.

The traditional hand-operated gates will have to be removed to make way for the crossing changes,

but the gatekeepers’ cabin and signal hut will remain.

The council will work with Public Transport Victoria to decide on the best way to display the historical gates at the 120-year-old site.

Last week the council voted to seek a design for the revamp of the crossing site that represented history and best served road users.

the gates reopened should have known that boom gates were the only option. He said the years of debate about the gates were “insanity”. “If the gates were really useful and vital, I’d be crapped off, but I’d accept it,” he said.

The hand-operated gates were closed in 2007 when a train crashed into them. Works on the crossing should begin early next year.

■ DRUG LAWS TOUGHENED Marine drug laws are to be toughened under new legislation. The use of illicit and illegal drugs by vessel operators, masters and pilots is now banned on all Victorian waterways. Recreational vessel operators under 21 must also have a blood alcohol level of zero, while the maximum blood alcohol level for those aged 21 or older will remain 0.05. A zero blood alcohol limit has been applied to all commercial and government vessel operators.

TOY STORY: Chloe, Archie and Emma check out the library toys

SEPTEMBER 19, 2012

NOT-FOR-PROFIT Bayside Toy Library hopes to boost membership numbers at its first open day next month.

The library does not receive council funding and operates entirely on membership fees and fund-raising drives.

President Kathryn Cooper said the library needed more members to improve the service.

She said it would like to expand and provide access to Family Life, a Sandringham-based community services centre that offers family counselling, mediation, and mentalhealth education.

Annual membership fees for the toy library are $70 for one child, and $100 for two or more children, plus a one-off $20 joining fee.

The free activity day will be held on Saturday, October 13, from 9.30am to 2pm at 212 Dendy Street, Brighton East.

VOX POP HOW DO YOU WANT TO SEE THE NEW STREET CROSSING OPERATE? JOEL SILVERSTEIN, Hampton Well they need to do something with it – it needs to be fixed. Perhaps an underpass, but that would cost a lot. I try to avoid the area.

COLIN JOHNSTONE, Hampton Leave it closed. I live close by and it would be too dangerous having it open again – too many problems with traffic trying to cross and perhaps getting stuck on the lines. People can go to South Road – it’s not that much of a hassle.

LISA LOZANO, Brighton I would love to see it open again. It causes accidents with it being closed as people rush around through to Wellington Street to get around. They should just put in new boom gates and open it.

Family violence reports on rise

BY LAURA BANKS l.banks@fairfaxmedia.com.au

REPORTED cases of family violence in Bayside have escalated, latest crime statistics have revealed.

Figures released by Victoria Police last week showed 451 family violence incidents were reported in Bayside in the 2011-12 period, 87 more than 2010-11. The number of charges laid as a result of a family incident rose from 105 in 2010-11 to 149 in 2011-12, up 42 per cent.

Incidents where children were present rose from 108 in 2010-11 to 139 in 2011-12. Nineteen more interventions were sought than for the prior financial year.

Since 2007-08, the number of family incidents attended by police in Bayside rose more than 80 per cent.

Glen Eira local area commander Inspector Stephen Clark said family violence was a priority in Bayside.

“I suspect the increase in results [is] from a greater confidence in police and greater police oversight of family violence attendances, rather that an increase in the number of family violence incidents generally,” he said. “I certainly see the increase in the number of charges laid and the number of intervention orders as a positive.”

Emerge Women and Children’s Support Network manager Rosemary Barca agreed: “With the improved police response, women are finding the courage to speak out and take action,” she said. “If, as a society, we allow domestic violence to remain hidden behind closed doors, we are effectively condoning it and allowing it to continue.’’

If you are experiencing family violence call the National Sexual Assault, Family and Domestic Violence line on 1800 737 732.

If in immediate danger, call 000.

TALK ABOUT A CAN DO ATTITUDE Mathematics and design skills were used in a charity drive at Mentone Girls Grammar last week. Years 5 and 8 students took part in the CANstruction competition where canned food is turned into 3D structures before it is donated to charity. The students constructed the can creations on the theme of Olympic Engineering. Year 8 students based their design on the floating Olympic Village in the shape of the five Olympic rings, while the year 5 students based their design on the Olympic medals. The cans will be donated to the Salvation Army after the competition.

STREET LEVEL REPORT CRIME call Crime Stoppers 1800 333 000

NORTH BRIGHTON A number of cars were broken into around North Brighton last week. Bayside Acting Senior Sergeant Mick White said drivers needed to remove valuables from their cars and ensure their cars were locked. ‘‘People need to take responsibility for their own property,’’ he said.

DINGLEY Police are appealing for information about an armed robbery in Dingley last Wednesday night. Two men wearing hockey masks entered the Centre Dandenong Road supermarket just after 7.30pm. The men allegedly threatened staff members with a machete, then stole cash and cigarettes.

They ran from the store and drove away in a dark blue Holden sedan or wagon. One of the men is described as 185cm tall with a medium build and is believed to have an Islander accent. The other man was about 180cm tall with a solid build. Both men wore black hooded tops.

MORDIALLOC

HIGHETT A man, 31, fled from a court hearing in Moorabbin last week and made his way to a property in Highett, where he allegedly stole a car. The man, from Laverton, was pursued by air-wing police and was arrested on Gamble Road in Carrum Downs a short time later.

Police are calling for information about a wheelie bin which was located in shrubs next to Mordialloc Creek and the railway line in Attenborough Park in the first half of this year. Homicide Squad Missing Persons Unit detectives have made arrests in relation to the murder of Adam Troy Williams Williams, 30 30, of Camberwell, who was last seen on December 29, 2011. They are seeking information from the public to help strengthen the evidence.

BY LAURA BANKS l.banks@fairfaxmedia.com.au

BAYSIDE council has thrown its support behind the Banksia Reserve Pavilion redevelopment.

The tick of approval, given at last week’s council meeting, means the $2.6 million redevelopment can move into the planning stage.

Beaumaris Cricket Club president Tony Mellick said up until last week there had been no formal endorsement by council.

An initiative of the Beaumaris Football Club, Beaumaris Cricket Club and Beaumaris Lawn Tennis Club, the upgrade will allow two old pavilions to be improved.

The new, two-level pavilion will have changerooms, medical and umpire rooms, a gymnasium, a function room, sports bar and kitchen.

The council did a four-week com-

munity engagement process in considering the project, and found that 90 per cent of the 354 responding residents supported the project.

Seventy-four per cent of people not affiliated with the tenant groups also supported the redevelopment.

Mr Mellick said the clubs would raise the $100,000 required for the town planning approvals.

“With confidence we can now go to our members to ask for their financial support,” he said.

He said the redevelopment was a unique community model.

“Part of the plan is that the food and beverage side will generate the profit needed to engage full-time staff and provide the funds to drive the clubs forward,” Mr Mellick said.

“This is not just about the sports people. Dog walkers will be able to stop and have a coffee, people will be able to be social.’’

Park upgrade gets go-ahead

Kidding around wins the prize A former school head of mathematics has won the Bayside Writers Competition with a comical short story about local government politics. David Campbell, 67, won the prize for Make a Note to Vote For My Goat. ‘‘It’s about a mayoral campaign between the incumbent, salt-ofthe-earth woman, and someone’s pet goat,” Campbell said. Since retiring from St Leonard’s College, he has written opinion pieces for The Age and published a collection of short stories, Morning Light, in 2007.

Close ties emerge in power line tussle chingston@mmpgroup.com.au

THE power companies behind a large terminal station upgrade in Brunswick were active participants in the behind-the-scenes state government approval process, suggesting action the government could take to allow the development.

Documents released under Freedom of Information have shed further light on the approval process for the $271 million terminal station expansion – an upgrade the state government says is essential to secure the supply of power to Melbourne’s CBD and inner-east.

Residents opposing the terminal

station have slammed the decision to rezone the land, calling for an independent review of the government’s decision.

The new documents, released to Brunswick MLA Jane Garrett under Freedom of Information laws, include emails and letters between the Department of Primary Industries, the Department of Planning and Community Development and power company CitiPower and Powercor Australia.

The documents include notes from a briefing from power companies and the Australian Energy Market Operator to high-ranking state government officials in October last year, while the planning application

was still before the local council.

The briefing documents predict that, no matter what the council decided, the issue would likely go to VCAT “causing unacceptable delays” and suggest how the government could intervene.

A later email from DPI staff asks the power companies and AEMO for their letter to planning minister Matthew Guy backing the terminal upgrade, saying: “We’ve prepared a letter of support from our end for our minister, but it would be clearly desirable to see what we’re supporting!”

Energy Minister Michael O’Brien then wrote to Mr Guy in November last year, requesting he “call-in” the

plans for the larger terminal, days before Moreland council rejected the upgrade.

Then in early January, CitiPower and Powercor Australia wrote to DPI asking for an update on the “proposed rezoning of the site”, two weeks before the rezoning recommendation was put to Mr Guy for approval. Ms Garrett said the documents showed a “deeply embedded relationship’’ between power companies and the government.

“It is outrageous,” she said.

The site of the upgraded facility is near leafy Merri Creek. Residents group member Chris Black said the findings confirmed residents’ “worst fears”.

Evaders nabbed

TWO St Kilda Road blitzes targeting fine evaders this month have nabbed 51 people with warrants totalling more than $310,000.

The Sheriff’s Office operations caught drivers with 1126 outstanding infringement warrants. Officers used numberplate recognition technology and did random vehicle checks.

Twelve people paid their fines on the spot, finalising 76 warrants worth almost $20,000.

Thirty drivers were given notice that their licences or vehicle registrations would be suspended if they did not arrange payment within a week.

Sheriff of Victoria Brendan Facey said the operation should serve as a reminder to people that timely payment of fines was the best way to avoid further penalties.

“If you ignore your fines, you will be caught,’’ he said. ‘‘New technology to identify offenders and more targeted blitzes mean the sheriff will find you.”

Three blitzes have been conducted in Port Phillip since August.

The first caught 23 people with about 460 outstanding infringement warrants that totalled more than $140,000.

KARTER’S CRUSADE Tass Antos will race for charity next weekend when he competes in Australia’s elite karting championship at Port Melbourne’s Todd Road circuit. The Kew resident’s three sponsors have pledged their support for the Y-House Foundation, a non-profit group committed to providing long-term housing for young people with disabilities living in agedcare facilities. Antos, 20, who is set to race against 25 karters in the senior category of the CIK Stars of Karting Series, said: “It’s a really good cause ... the aim is to raise awareness for the Y-House, which is trying to build a new facility in Melbourne with rehabilitation services.”

SEPTEMBER 19, 2012

SCHOOLS need to shift the emphasis of sex education classes away from “fear, disease and shame” to focus on love and intimacy, say researchers at Deakin University.

Sex education should start at prep level instead of in years 5 and 6, but under a coordinated approach with parents, teachers and community health organisations, the study recommends.

The Deakin study found that 38 per cent of parents don’t want sex education taught in schools but nearly 60 per cent want schools to give advice on how to discuss it with their children. The children said they wanted to learn more about love.

Victorian government schools are required to provide sexuality classes as part of physical education and health lessons, although it is up to each school to design its own program.

Deakin’s Burwood researcher, Dr Deb Ollis, said every student had a right to sex education, and schools needed age-appropriate and culturally sensitive programs.

The study’s findings come after a sex ed program was introduced to 1700 prep to year 9 students at Geelong’s Northern Bay P-12 College.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR ■ SOUND OF MUSIC In reply to ‘‘Rocking the suburbs’’ (RL, September 5), in the interest of fair play I ask for the following to be clarified.

Port Phillip Statutory Planning Committee (21/8) endorsed the recommendation of the Planning Officer to amend the Great Provider’s planning permit to allow amplified or live music to be played inside the premises. However the noise level would need to be controlled through a sound management system, which limited sound emission to a level which complied with State Environment Planning Policy (SEPP-N-2). This now correlates with the requirements placed upon other venues which provide music.

It is believed that the council received a number of letters in support of the amendment from regular customers who had enjoyed the Great Provider, and wanted music to still be available. Further support was received from a number of those who live opposite,

including long-term residents Tom and Maureen Hafey, who declared they had no problem with sound from the venue.

Since the installation of our sound limiter in March there have been no complaints about noise from the business.

We believe that the councillors looked at what was the best result for all parties and have made a decision based on that. We welcome that outcome.

Rollo / director, the Great Provider

■ COUNTING THE BEAT I loved your article ‘‘Rocking the suburbs’’ (RL, September 5). I have been playing (drums) at pub gigs since early 1979 including 161⁄2 years with Thunderstruck the AC/DC tribute band, leading to many interstate and overseas shows. I therefore feel qualified to comment on this topic.

Rock is the backbone of suburban venues. That said, I do sincerely hope their venture is a success.

In regards to Port Phillip mayor Rachel Powning saying: ‘‘Rumours of the death of live music in St Kilda have been exaggerated’’, I beg to differ. I played a gig at the Prince of Wales last year. It was the first time I’d performed there since 1988, a time when hand-made advertising banners were hung from the balcony. By 2011, thanks to a ‘‘progressive’’ council, we were not allowed to display a professionally sign-written laser-cut banner over said balcony!

The reason given? It was not ‘‘aesthetically appropriate for the harmony of the area’’. What a joke.

The only similarity between now and 1979 is that 95 per cent of the guys playing smaller venues these days are being paid pretty much the same as they were back then. If the venues were forced to play Musicians’ Union of Australia rates, there would be no live pub music anywhere in Melbourne.

The council’s decision follows an 18-month trial of the no-stopping zone and is subject to $1.5 million state government funding for works along Beach Road.

aul Biegler admits he never used to turn on his bicycle lights during the day. All it took for him to change his ways was the latest cyclist crash data, generated in a study he undertook for Monash University.

The figures reveal that 66 per cent of injured cyclists didn’t have bike lights on at the time of their accident. That was enough for the former emergency department doctor, who was preparing to make the 12 kilometre commute from the Clayton campus to his home in Brighton.The first thing he did as

he mounted his road bike that midweek afternoon was turn on the front and rear flashing lights.

The joint research between the university’s Accident Research Centre and Alfred Health confirms what many already know about the danger of sharing the roads: collisions with cars account for a third of all crashes and the likelihood of suffering a serious head injury has a lot to do with speed. But the data, generated from a study of 158 cyclists admitted to the Alfred and Sandringham hospitals after an accident in the 12

not the knight in shining armour for cyclists. It’s not just about moving parked cars – if it was we would be sending that message to the government.”

His comments come as the final push for a weekend no-stopping zone on Beach Road was set in stone. Bayside council recently confirmed plans to enforce 6am–10am Saturday and Sunday clearways along its section of Route 33 – the longest stretch of the popular cyclist route, which runs from Mordialloc to Port Melbourne, cutting through the municipalities

months to November last year, also illuminates a less-publicised danger: regardless of the time of day, there is an alarming relationship between visibility and collisions.

“It’s hell out there for cyclists,” Biegler says.“The only safety measure you have up your sleeve is prevention, because once you’re in an accident nothing is in your favour.

There’s no airbags, no side curtains, no crumple zones, nothing.”

Biegler says cyclist safety is as much dependent on educating road users as it is about engineering roads.“Clearways are

busiest for cyclists, attracting up to 10,000 recreational and training riders each weekend. About 28,000 cars travel along the stretch every day. In recent years it has also been the site of five deaths, two involving cyclists.

Last year, professional cyclist John Cornish died on Beach Road when he was involved in a collision with a van. VicRoads crash statistics from 2007 to 2011 show there were 557 casualty accidents on Route 33 during that period. Almost half the accidents involved cyclists, including 36 hitting parked cars.

Beach Road Cyclist, an advocacy group which says it represents 15,000 cyclists, began lobbying for the clearways in 2001. Spokesman, cyclist and paramedic Marcel Lema says Bayside’s commitment to the no-stopping zones legitimises cyclists’ rights to use the roads.

“It’s common sense – the left side will be used for cyclists and the right for cars,” he says.“When cyclists and cars are separated there’s no bottlenecking, which increases traffic flow and cuts down frustration for everyone.The road is already at its peak capacity and this will make it much safer.”

Lema, who rides up to 200km three times a week, says cyclists are often the target of aggression from motorists on Beach Road. ‘‘There is definitely an aspect of safety in numbers,’’ he says.‘‘Some drivers don’t like that and we’re still subject to aggression. Last month someone threw bricks and

Garry Brennan, spokesman for Bicycle Network Victoria, which joined Beach Road Cyclist in its clearway campaign, said the weekend trial period proved the no-stopping zones had been a success.

“The length of Beach Road controlled by Bayside council was a notorious location for bike collisions because the occasional parked car forced groups of riders to change lanes frequently,” Brennan says.“Often a rider would fail to notice the parked vehicle and slam into it at full speed.”

Figures relied on by Bayside council to make the no-stopping zone permanent record six accidents involving cyclists hitting parked cars in the four years before the trial was introduced.

The latest figures show there were no accidents with parked cars between November 2010, and December last year. However, the data also revealed an increase in the overall number of accidents involving cyclists. During the trial period, the yearly average jumped from four to seven accidents.

Sandringham MLA Murray Thompson isn’t convinced the figures warrant a permanent no-stopping zone.“On the basis that there has actually been a spike in accidents since the trial commenced, I would have preferred to see provisional approval granted for two or three

more years rather than locking in the clearway,” he says.

Thompson concedes balancing safety and traffic management with the interests of road users and community groups is no easy task.

Bayside Ratepayers Association president George Reynolds supports the clearways as a safety measure, but his view isn’t shared by all his members.“I lost quite a few over this issue,” he says.“There was a huge amount of opposition to the clearways; the council meetings were filled with residents and cyclists all shouting at each other. But the reality is that there’s only about 14 homes and a couple of shops directly affected by the parking restrictions. Everyone else has driveway parking.”

There have been reports that anglers who launch their boats at Half Moon Bay could suffer from a parking shortage because the fishing season generates overflow from the boat ramp car park to Beach Road. Lifesaving clubs, too, argue the restrictions will affect carnivals that can attract thousands to the foreshore.

Special projects manager at Mentone Life Saving Club, David Blanks, wants the no-stopping zone lifted on designated days.“We just want access on two days a year,” he says.“The road belongs to everyone and we need the clearway removed when we hold carnivals.”

Blanks was told by the Kingston council to take his proposal to VicRoads and Bicycle Victoria, but he says he’s not interested in bureaucracy.“We don’t want to get tied up in red tape. All we want is parking to access the foreshore a couple of days each year.”

Hampton Life Saving Club spokesman Peter Lewis agrees the clearways put more strain on limited parking.‘‘We already have members parking up to a kilometre

away during summer,’’ he says.

Reynolds says some residents view the clearways as a quick-fix for poor road design and the high numbers of cyclists disobeying road rules.“They think that if [cyclists] acted responsibly we wouldn’t need the no-stopping zones,” he says.“They were upset and they will continue to be upset.

But they are mainly upset about the cyclists’ behaviour.’’

Victoria Police crime statistics reveal the number of cyclists failing to use bicycle lanes or misusing paths has spiked during the past decade.The number of cyclists booked for these offences hovered around 50 a year between 2002 and 2009 but shot up to 277 in 2010 and hit a high of 366 last year.

Failure to obey traffic lights last year accounted for 535 offences.

The statistics are a stark reminder of a 2006 accident in which pedestrian James Gould died after being struck by a cyclist who ran a red light on Beach Road.

Despite the figures, Reynolds says the clearways translate to increased safety on the road.

“Whatever the conduct of the cyclists, I don’t think you need them swapping from one lane to another. The situation is so dangerous and a clearway is the only way to manage that danger.”

The Bicycle Network’s Brennan says the evidence of accidents involving parked cars on Route 33 since the trial began speaks for itself.

He says community opposition to the clearways has been limited to those who “stubbornly resisted inevitable change”.

“Local politics got in the way of responsible decision-making.”

Nick Mitchell agrees. In 2007, the professional cyclist clipped the side of a parked car on Beach Road and was thrown off his bike.

bottles at a group of riders. Others swerve close to cyclists, toot their horns or yell abuse.’’

But he says attitudes are slowly shifting.‘‘Cycling is a social sport and I think that’s why 80 per cent of the cyclists on Beach Road ride,’’ he says.‘‘It’s probably the only sport that you can train for and still talk to the person next to you. It’s a great way to socialise and get fit.’’

Marcel Lema (second from left) is the spokesman for Beach Road Cyclist

The 27-year-old took out three other cyclists in a pack of 20 but escaped with minor injuries to his shoulder, elbows and knees.“This was before the no-stopping zones,” Mitchell says.“It could have been a lot worse.The riding conditions have definitely improved since the clearways came into effect.”

Mitchell has seen two other accidents involving parked cars on Beach Road.‘‘When you’re in a group you don’t always have a really good view of the road, and if there’s a parked car there the chance of an accident increases.”

James Taylor, who heads Sandringham Hospital’s emergency department, and co-authored the Monash study with Biegler, says he treats 250 to 300 cyclists a year, mostly for upper body and minor head injuries. About the same number attend The Alfred each year.

“One out of every 100 patients we see is a cyclist,” Taylor says.

“That’s about twice the state average.They’re mostly adults who ride for recreation, training or commuting. And they’re primarily from Beach Road and the major feeding roads to Beach Road.”

He says the Monash study

revealed that most cyclist injuries resulted from obstructions in the road, rider errors in judgment and loss of balance.

But of greater concern, he says, is the number of cyclists hitting parked cars or having car doors opened in front of them.

The study’s findings, which were not limited to Route 33 (12 of the 158 cyclists interviewed crashed on Beach Road), revealed 13 per cent of collisions involved parked cars. Crashes into an opening door, or ‘‘doorings’’, accounted for only 6 per cent of accidents – about the same as the number of cyclists who crash after clipping the rear wheel of a bike in front of them.

Taylor says VicRoads figures prove the no-stopping zones prevent injuries. Crash statistics from 2000 to 2005 show 25 per cent of serious accidents on Beach Road involved cyclists running into parked cars.

“During the clearway times on Beach Road there has not been a single cyclist that rode into a parked car. That’s because there weren’t any parked cars on the road. Therefore, the clearway has removed a significant obstacle.”

Built just before the start of World War I by a man of private means, it had reinforced concrete walls almost a metre thick (sturdy enough to hold a cannon).

From the top storey you could see ships sail through Port Phillip Heads (or even signal a U-boat).

Locals concluded that the reclusive occupant was a German spy, but a military intelligence investigation found he was publisher Frederick Charles Jarrett, a fourth-generation Australian of English and Scottish descent.

He started studying yoga and mysticism long before his father died when Byrne was 13. Byrne met Father Bob Maguire about 18 months later at St Anne’s Catholic Parish in East Kew, a man he describes as ‘‘transformative – he gave me a deeper reality’’.

Father Bob gathered the neighbourhood children into football and basketball teams and ran camps for them.‘‘He was like a father to everyone in the parish,’’ Bryne says.‘‘He got a dog for me when my dog was run over. He also brought awareness to the community, of ourselves, of life. ‘‘He gave us a deeper spirituality that was not limited to a particular religion. Through postures you get in contact with the breath, and through breath you get in touch with the inherent intelligence in the body.”

LOCAL LIVES

RAY JORDON 17/2/1937 – 13/8/2012 SANDRINGHAM Dragons legend Ray ‘‘Slug’’ Jordon died in mid-August, aged 75. Jordon was a prolific sportsman who represented Victoria in Sheffield Shield cricket – he was a star wicketkeeper – and toured with the Australian national team to India and South Africa in 1969-70.

But it was in football where Jordon had a local affiliation. He was a key player for Coburg in the Victorian Football Association,

where he won three best and fairest trophies in a row, captained the club and was later named in Coburg’s Team of the Century.

When his playing days were over, he coached Richmond, North Melbourne and Melbourne at under-19 level, working closely with Ron Barassi at the Kangaroos and Demons.

In 1992, Jordon again showed his skill in developing young footballers by becoming the inaugaral Sandringham Dragons coach as the club entered the TAC Cup. Jordon coached the Dragons for five years, working with several players who would go on to have successful AFL careers including Simon Beaumont, Justin Murphy and current Western Bulldogs chief executive Simon Garlick.

Jordon is survived by his wife Marie, sons Gary and Tony, and grandsons Brent and Travis.

Many members of the Victorian sporting community attended his funeral at Richmond’s St Ignatius Church.

OBITUARY

T

he Mount Eliza couple met in 2007 when they were both graduates at an accounting firm. Fitzpatrick proposed to his partner of four years in July last year. ‘‘Andrew proposed on a Friday night at home to make sure it was a surprise – and it was,’’ says Ray. The couple were married in front of 120 friends and family members at Ripponlea’s Quat Quatta, chosen because they were after ‘‘a classic Victoria venue’’ that specialised in weddings. ‘‘The building and interiors are stunning.That, coupled with the fact we’d heard so much positive feedback from others, made the decision easy,’’ says Ray. Highlights included being photographed at some stunning Melbourne locations before the ceremony and ‘‘successfully navigating our wedding dance’’.

The couple honeymooned at Palm Cove for a week after the wedding.

LOCAL SCENE

DECENT EXPOSURE

F

riends and family of Brighton Grammar School student Connor Dawes turned out for the “Cocktails for Connor� fundraiser at True South Brewery in Black Rock on September 7. Connor was diagnosed with a brain tumour last December and the school has rallied to support the 18-year-old, who has been at the school since prep.To make a contribution, call 8591 2271.

CLOCKWISE FROM TOP LEFT Courtney and Emma discuss whether or not to Instagram their delicious mocktail known as the Tropicana.

Jake Selleck and Jackson Bilu check out the photo mural.

Dale Sheppard welcomes the large and bustling crowd.

Brighton Grammar boys mix the mocktails. “What’s in that?� BG boys: “Orange juice and raspberry�. “Is that all?� BG boys: “...and eleven herbs and spices.�

English teacher Ross Vernon catches up with some of his students after-hours, including the ‘reliable prefect’ Tim Edmonds (centre).

Student Hank Kim hit some great notes and kept the crowd enthralled.

ODE TO MY SUBURB Hampton resident FRANCES WANG-WARD is a film producer, lawyer, and is soon to have her second child.

She reveals her favourite places to ...

HAVE A GREAT BREAKFAST Sebastian’s is a destination almost every weekend. New management, new fit-out, new menu.They also serve kids’ milkshakes in cute vintage glass bottles - my son Will can’t get enough of them.

KEEP A SECRET Hampton Children’s Playhouse is a co-op supported by the Bayside Council, where your kids can run amuck in someone else’s house!

MIKE BAKER

Bondi Wicker 9pce $2499

GRC & Iluka 9pce $3289

GET AN EXERCISE FIX The best thing about living within five minutes’ walk of the beach is — the beach!

I’ve given up trying to chase Will on the scooter along the beach path, but I’ll be back in my runners after this baby comes.

BUY A LAST-MINUTE GIFT Mozi for sweet-smelling gifts of the suds or wax kind.

CATCH UP WITH FRIENDS Meals at the new Half Moon always end up longer than expected. Even though it looks nothing like the old Half Moon, nostalgia creeps in and memories are reminisced.

FIND A NICE BOTTLE OF WINE OS Kitchen and Wine Bar. I always try something different from the bistro menu and can’t wait to try some more European drops in a few months!

LAND A GREAT BARGAIN I’ve yet to crack the bargain code that so many mums have mastered. I’m constantly being told I paid too much for something.

BUY COOL THREADS Lover Byrd for Low Luv and pieces from House of Harlow.

Moorabbin rams home 15th title dpaproth@mmpgroup.com.au

SEVEN years can hardly be considered a “premiership drought”.

But if you’re as accustomed to success as they are at Moorabbin Rams Rugby Club, it’s a long time to wait.

Earlier this month the Rams broke through for their 15th Victorian Rugby Union Dewar Shield, defeating Melbourne 30-24.

It was a remarkable feat, given Melbourne hadn’t lost a game all season, and were going for their fourth consecutive title.

Melbourne lead 9-0 early in the game before Moorabbin tied the scores at 12-all by half-time.

The Rams took the lead early in the second half and never squandered it. However, president Paul Gascoigne says there were a few nervous moments.

“At 30-17 we thought it must be pretty close to time. The Melbourne president came over and congratulated me . . . and then the game kept going,” Gascoigne laughs. “But I think from 30-17 we were fairly unbeatable. ‘‘Our defence was just non-stop

and withstood everything Melbourne threw at us.”

The win was redemption for Moorabbin, who Gascoigne says were “embarrassed” in a semi-final against Melbourne last year.

“We lost some respect because of that performanc and we wanted that respect back . . . the only way to get it was to win the grand final.”

Melbourne may have gone through the season undefeated but they beat Moorabbin by only three points in a mid-season clash, giving the Rams confidence going into the grand final.

“When we looked back at the video we saw that we really could have won it,” Gascoigne says. “That set the goal that we wanted another crack at them and we did it.”

“It was a fantastic game. We showed great courage in a hardfought pressure contest.’’ ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ●

Chelsea ready for showdown

BRIEFS

Dragons’ final heartbreak ARI HATZIS

EAST Brighton and Chelsea Heights will fight it out on Sunday for the 2012 Southern Football League premiership.

Chelsea Heights won through to the grand final following a 6-point win over St Paul’s East Bentleigh in the preliminary final on Sunday.

The grand final pits the two best division one teams of the year against each other in what will be a mouth-watering showdown.

During the home-and-away season they lost just five games between them. East Brighton was undefeated until a shock loss to cellar-dwellers Heatherton in round 14.

It was Chelsea Heights which delivered the Vampires’ second loss, with a 41-point win in round 17.

They met again in the second semi-final two weekends ago in a low-scoring affair. East Brighton led the Demons from start to finish but was never able to put them to the sword, the final margin being just nine points.

Chelsea Heights will be looking for its first division one premiership, and first piece of silverware since its division two premiership in 2000.

Meanwhile East Brighton is chasing redemption for season 2011. It was the minor premiers but lost by 10 goals to St Paul’s East Bentleigh in the grand final to end the season on a sorry and sour note. .

It will be determined to go one better.

MATCH REPORT

BY DANIEL PAPROTH dpaproth@mmpgroup.com.au

SANDRINGHAM Dragons were knocked out of the TAC Cup finals after a heartbreaking four-point loss to Gippsland Power at Visy Park on Saturday.

The Dragons came agonisingly close to making the grand final, which would have given them a chance to defend their 2011 premiership, but weren’t able to get past a powerful Gippsland outfit.

In an outstanding game of football the lead changed frequently, and no side ever looked like getting a match-winning advantage.

In the end the difference between the two sides was Gippsland captain Tim Membrey, who put in one of the best games of his career, scoring eight goals in a best-on-ground performance. The Dragons had no answer for him.

The Power led by a goal at quarter-time and had jumped ahead by 11 points at the main break, as the two teams put on a display of skill, strong marking and fast, freeflowing football rarely seen in players of such a young age.

The Dragons gave themselves the best possible chance by cutting the margin to just four points at threequarter time. Going into the final quarter Justin Plapp told the group to dig deep and throw everything at their more fancied opponents.

They kicked four goals in a seesawing last quarter and looked the better team early, but the Power

■ KINSMAN STEPS UP Dean Kinsman will take over as coach of the Sabres. Currently the head of basketball operations with the association, Kinsman is well placed to take on the role, having coached in the Women’s National Basketball League.

■ KELLY’S MEDAL EFFORT Elsternwick Paralympian Kelly Cartwright won gold in the women’s long jump F42/44 in London with a distance of 4.38m. Cartwright, who lost her right leg to cancer, won silver in the 100m T42 event, setting a regional record of 16.14s.

HANGING ON: Dragon Julian Eimutis tackles Nicholas Graham demonstrated the class and patience they showed at their best moments this season to edge out Sandringham, winning 16.10 (106) to 15.12 (102).

James Stewart kicked three goals for the Dragons while Elliot Le Grice was best on ground.

The Dragons’ top two vote-getters in the Morrish Medal, Kenny Ong and Chris Mangoni, were also impressive.

Sharks get a bite at Uni Blacks for Premier B title BEAUMARIS will take on University Blacks for the VAFA Premier B title at Sportscover Arena on Saturday.

The Sharks won through to the decider after defeating St Kevin’s by 28 points in the preliminary final on Saturday. The win also ensured them promotion to Premier A grade next season.

Uni Blacks, St Kevin’s and Beaumaris were the best three teams in the Premier B competition for much of the year but the Sharks were the better side when it mattered most.

They jumped out to a 28-point lead by quarter-time on Saturday,

kicking seven goals to two. St Kevin’s hit back hard in the second to trail by 14 at half-time. But Beaumaris won the match in the premiership quarter, scoring seven goals to three to take an unassailable 38-point lead into the last term.

St Kevin’s never seriously challenged Beaumaris in the last.

Beaumaris coach Jason Mifsud said the win was the result of hard work.

“We were really good early,” he said. “Our defensive pressure caused a number of turnovers which we capitalised on. We knew

■ CRIVELLI STEPS DOWN Vince Crivelli has stepped down as senior coach of the Sandringham Sabres after 12 years. He will continue as general manager of the Southern Basketball Association. ‘‘I’ve had a wonderful experience but now I really want to put my time and energy into other areas of the business,’’ he said.

our conditioning and fitness was going to hold us in good stead.”

Sam McBain was best on ground with four goals for Beaumaris, while Rob Cathcart and Matt Duggan played well.

Mifsud said they were confident of causing an upset in the grand final, having beaten University Blacks by two points in round eight, and losing by 37 in round 15, when they kicked 15 behinds from 21 scoring shots.

“We kicked really poorly in the game we lost to them,” Mifsud said.

“We really respect them, and they’re

very well-drilled, but we don’t hold any fear of them.’’ ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ●
